- Determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A sample weighting 6 ± 1 mg, is heated to 200 ± 1° C at a rate of 20 °C/min and kept at 200 ± 1° C for 2 minutes in nitrogen stream and it is thereafter cooled at a rate of 20° C/min to 40 ± 2° C, thereby kept at this temperature for 2 min to crystallise the sample. Then, the sample is again fused at a temperature rise rate of 20° C/min up to 200° C ± 1. The melting scan is recorded, a thermogram is obtained (°C vs. mW), and, from this, temperatures corresponding to peaks are read. The temperature corresponding to the most intense melting peaks recorded during the second fusion is taken as the melting temperatures.

- Some films with a thickness of 50 µm are prepared by extruding each test composition in a a single screw Collin extruder (length/diameter ratio of screw 1:25) at a film drawing speed of 7 m/min and a melt temperature do 210-250 °C. Each resulting film is superimposed on a 1000 µm thick film of a propylene homopolymer having a xylene insoluble fraction of 97 wt% and a MFR L of 2 g/10 min. The superimposed films are bonded to each other in a Carver press at 200°C under a 9000 kg load, which is maintained for 5 minutes. The resulting laminates are stretched longitudinally and transversally, i.e. biaxially, by a factor 6 with a Karo 4 Brueckener film stretcher at 160°C, thus obtaining a 20 µm thick film (18 µm homopolymer+2 µm test).
- Film Strips, 6 cm wide and 35 cm length are cut from the center of the BOPP film he film was superimposed with a BOPP film made of PP homopolymer. The superimposed specimens are sealed along one of the 2 cm sides with a Brugger Feinmechanik Sealer, model HSG-ETK 745. Sealing time is 5 seconds at a pressure of 0.14 MPa (20 psi). The starting sealing temperature is from about 10 °C less than the melting temperature of the test composition. The sealed strip is cut in 6 specimens 15 mm wide long enough to be claimed in the tensile tester grips. The seal strength is tested and load cell capacity 100 N, cross speed 100 mm/min and grip distance 50 mm. The results is expressed as the average of macimum seal strength (N). from are left to cool and then their unsealed ends are attached to an Instron machine where they are tested at a traction speed of 50 mm/min.
- The test is than repeated by changing the temperature as follows:
- If seal strength <1.5 N then increase the temperature
- If seal strength >1.5 N then decrease the temperature
- Temperature variation must be adjusted stepwise, if seal strength is close to target select steps of 1°C if the strength is far from target select steps of 2°C.
- The target seal strength (SIT) is defined as the lowest temperature at which a seal strength higher or equal to 1.5 N is achieved
- 50 µm film speciments prepared as described above for the SIT measure have been used. The haze value is measured using a Gardner photometric unit connected to a Hazemeter type UX-10 or an equivalent instrument having G.E. 1209 light source with filter "C". Reference samples of known haze are used for calibrating the instrument.

The temperature is increased to 100°C and, after 2 hours, the TiCl4 is removed by filtration. 200 ml of TiCl4 and 9 mmoles of 9,9-bis(methoxymethyl)fluorene are added; after 1 hour at 110°C the content is filtered again and another 200 ml of TiCl4 are added, continuing the treatment at 110°C for one more hour; finally, the content is filtered and washed at 60°C with n-heptane until all chlorine ions disappear from the filtrate.
- The microspheroidal MgCl2.2.1 C2H5OH is prepared as follows.
48 g of anhydrous MgCl2, 77 g of anhydrous C2H5OH, and 830 ml of kerosene are fed, in inert gas and at ambient temperature, in a 2 liter autoclave equipped with a turbine agitator and drawing pipe. The content is heated to 120°C while stirring thus forming the adduct between MgCl2 and the alcohol that melts and remains mixed with the dispersing agent. The nitrogen pressure inside the autoclave is maintained at 15 atm. The drawing pipe of the autoclave is heated externally to 120°C with a heating jacket, has an inside diameter of 1 mm, and is 3 meters long from one end of the heating jacket to the other. Then the mixture is caused to flow through the pipe at a velocity of 7m/sec ca.
At the exit of the pipe the dispersion is gathered in a 5 I flask, under agitation, containing 2.5 I of kerosene, and being externally cooled by way of a jacket maintained at an initial temperature of - 40°C. The final temperature of the dispersion is 0°C. The spherical solid product that constituted the dispersed phase of the emulsion is separated by way of settling and filtration, and then washed with heptane and dried. All these operations are carried out in an inert gas atmosphere. - 130 g of MgCl2 3 C2H5OH in the form of spherical solid particles with a maximum diameter less than or equal to 50 micron, are obtained.
